From 3 March 2025, students will be able to park for free on our High Wycombe campus as part of a pilot programme.

Car park C will open to students on a first-come, first-served basis from 7am to 10pm Monday to Friday. Parking will be excluded outside these times to adhere to Buckinghamshire Council’s rules around noise abatement.

Car park D will be available for both staff and students over the weekend, from 7am to 10pm.

No permits are required. Just tap your student ID card to open the barriers.  

Students with electric vehicles will be able to use our chargers for the first time.

All accessible bays will remain in car park C.  

For information on this scheme, please email parking.permits@bnu.ac.uk.

BNU has campuses in a range of locations just outside of London - High Wycombe, Aylesbury and Uxbridge - providing you with great public transport and travel links to London, Oxford and the rest of the UK. 

If you’re travelling by public transport, it’s worth checking whether you’d be eligible for a railcard or Student Oyster photo card, which can really help towards your travel costs.

There is a free, door-to-door bus service for students and staff between the High Wycombe and Uxbridge Campuses (with a valid Buckinghamshire New University ID card).

Bucks Student’s Union also gives BNU students the opportunity to stay fit and healthy, lower their carbon footprint, and save money. Our bike hire scheme is another great option for you to commute to university.

As a commuting student it may help to separate your university life and home life. At home there might be more distractions compared to on campus, so take advantage of our quiet spaces and study rooms in our library to get work done after classes.

At BNU we know there is more to life at university than just your course. Bucks Students’ Union (SU) offers a range of activities from societies and sports to volunteering, training, workshops and great events, to help you feel part of the BNU community. 

The Lounge hosts a range of after class activities including pub quizzes, sip and paint nights, gaming tournaments and even film evenings. All of which are free to get involved in as a BNU student. 

As well as this, we also offer Big Bucks Meal Deal, providing free hot meals, to enable the BNU community to come together to share dinner together in a safe, warm environment. 

To find out more about what the SU has on visit their website.

A great way to stay active and socialise at university is to join the Gateway Gym or one of our Students’ Union’s sports teams. These not only help your overall wellbeing but are also fantastic places to meet new people outside of your classes.

Joining a sports club at BNU is completely free, thanks to The Big Deal. You can find more information on what clubs are on offer and how to join on the Students’ Union website.

The Gateway Gym at BNU is fully equipped with the very latest training equipment and fully qualified, experienced Fitness Coaches who are on hand to assist you. 

There are a number of different membership options available as a student, you can find more information on our gym section.
